    FOREWORD

    1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

    2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.

    3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

    4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

    5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.

    6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

    7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

    8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

    9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

    International Standard IEC 81346-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 3: Information structures and elements, identification and marking principles, documentation and graphical symbols, in cooperation with ISO technical committee 10: Technical product documentation.

    It is published as a double logo standard.

    It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

    This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

    This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

    a) The entry classes of the classification scheme have been defined to reflect the “inherent function” of the object classified;

    b) The classes are defined to align with the principles of ISO 22274 and ISO 704; c) A three-level classification scheme has been defined, which provides a greater flexibility

    for the designer in some technical fields; d) Classes are defined by their definition and provided with a preferred term. Examples are

    provided if needed; e) A separate classification scheme for spaces has been provided.

    The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

    INTRODUCTION

    The aim of this document is to establish classification schemes for objects with assigned letter codes for the defined classes, which can be applied throughout all technical areas, e.g. electric, mechanical, process and civil engineering as well as all branches of industry, e.g. energy, chemical, construction, automotive, shipbuilding and marine. The letter codes are intended for use with the rules for the construction of reference designations in accordance with IEC 81346-1 and other parts of the ISO/IEC 81346 series. The letter codes can also be used ”stand-alone” as a generic type designation where a type of component is to be indicated, for example in specifications.

    The classification scheme in Clause 5 of this document is an enumerative and faceted classification scheme with the inherent function as the entry class. It is made in accordance with the rules in ISO 704 and the guidelines in ISO 22274.

    At the entry level, as shown in Table 1, the inherent function is used to narrow down the areas of applicability of the individual classes to a manageable size. For the sub-divisions of the entry classes, faceted approaches are applied to specify the nature of the concepts contained in the leaf classes.

    By applying this method, this document provides stable class codes for objects (including systems and system elements), which are independent of how the objects are used or applied in any design during the entire lifecycle.

    Any class is defined by its definition only. Users should select the appropriate class for their object to be classified based on the definition, and not rely upon the class name or the examples.

    The classification in this document is made with an entry class based on function in a broad sense. This is in accordance with ISO 22274:2013, 5.4.4 which recommends an enumerative and faceted classification system with an entry class.

    When a class code is applied in a reference designation, the purpose is to classify the occurrence of the object, not the individual, as described in IEC 81346-1:2009, 4.8 and Table 1 (general rules). In such a situation, the object is generally specified and assigned its inherent function in the design stage of the project. Classes can also be used by manufacturers to show multiple potential use of a product. In this way, the classification can enhance searchability.

    The class name (preferred term) assigned to the classes and the examples of terms provided in this document are based on the inherent function of an object, i.e. independent of any application.

    This classification scheme ensures a life cycle stable class code, as the stable object occurrence is classified by the stable inherent function of the object occurrence: A stake is a stake, a door is a door and so on, no matter what individual is used to realize the occurrence.

    Objects related to a class may be considered as a discrete collection of objects, and may therefore be further classified into sub-classes based on the differentiation of a specific characteristic. In this document, this has resulted in a classification scheme starting with classes representing general types based on function in a broad sense (1st letter code), continuing into classes representing types that are more specialized in two steps, represented by 2nd and 3rd class code.

    All examples and terms in the classification scheme of this document are recognized as being used to name a member of their class. As different branches have different usage of terminology, the same example or term might occur in different classes.

    4.2 Relation between classification and composition

    IEC 81346-1 defines rules on how an object may be structured into its constituent objects resulting in a composition hierarchy. For the purpose of classifying objects, this document defines classes and codes that results in a classification hierarchy, see Figure 1, which is a copy of Figure 2 in 4.2 of ISO 12006-2:2015.

    • inherent function of objects, see Clause 5;

    • spaces, see Clause 6;

    • infrastructure objects, see Clause 7.

    The content of any class is determined by the definition of the class only. A preferred term determines the class in daily use and forms part of the definition of subclasses. The classification tables of this document are considered to be complete, and therefore no “miscellaneous” or “other” classes are present. If no appropriate class for an object-of-interest can be found on a sub or sub-sub level, objects shall be classified to the higher level i.e. to the sub-class or entry class.

    This document provides classification schemes with multiple classification levels. The user may choose to apply letter codes using

    • a single letter, representing the entry class; or

    • two letter code, representing a sub-class in the scheme; or

    • three letter code, representing a sub-sub-class in the scheme.

    5 Classification scheme for the inherent function of objects

    5.1 General

    The classification scheme defined in this clause is based on the inherent function of objects.

    The classification scheme has a hierarchical classification structure that constitute three levels from top to lower.

    The entry classes and their respective subclasses are defined considering the inherent function of objects, based on the knowledge of the use of objects in existing designs, and the classification schemes defined in IEC 81346-2:2009.

    NOTE 1 When the classification scheme shown in Table 1 and Table 2 refer to high voltage (HV) or low voltage (LV), high voltage is considered to be any voltage > 1 000 V AC or > 1 500 V DC. Low voltage is considered to be any voltage ≤ 1 000 V AC or ≤ 1 500 V DC. These voltage limits are in accordance with IEC 61140.

    NOTE 2 In Annex D the difference between the classification scheme and classes in IEC 81346-2:2009 and the classification scheme and classes of this publication is given.

    5.2 Entry classes

    Table 1 defines the entry classes for the classification scheme for inherent function of objects.
